World Cardmaking Day with Joy Clair - Outside the Box

Hello friends!  I'm back with CHALLENGE #3!

Click HERE to find all the information about Challenge #3. For this challenge, we are thinking OUTSIDE the box with our stamps!  That's right - open your window wide and create! SOOO - I set about create a vinyl covered altered notebook using the Mermaid at Heart stamp set!

I started by watercoloring the vinyl after it was adhered to my notebook and lightly sealed with a spray sealant. I added some super thick emobssing powders for dimention and texture.





There mermaid tail was stamped twice - once with ink and once with Versamark so I could emboss with a glitter embossing powder.  I stamped the sentiment onto the vinyl with Versamark and embossed with Gold Detail EP.  I repeated the same process on a piece of paper and fussy cut to fit on the original stamped image.





  

On the inside, I just added some simple stamping and started writing!  Both inside covers were covered with some mermaid patterned paper as well.

Celebrating World Cardmaking Day - MY SPACE

Hello friends!

Click HERE to find all the information about Challenge #1. 

I'm here with the rest of the gang of the Joy Clair team to share a bit about our workspaces and a tip!

SOOO....here it goes!  I finally found my desk (hahaha) and was able to take a few quick pics of it before it was completely covered again.  Take a peek:

You can see a few sneak peek projects in the making - can you spot them?

My tip is actually both papercraft AND non-papercraft related (SHOCKING!). I'm also a sewist - so I need to organize all my fabric!  Originally, I had it in totes, but it wasn't getting used that way. I decided to group it all by type - and LOOK how much I ended up with! WOW!  Better get to the sewing.  This brings me to my next tip - organizing your papercraft supplies!  Those black bins above the fabric are sorted between different types of supplies - in this case, my Rinea Foiled Paper, Adhesives, Tonic/Nuvo Products and Chipboard/Wood Accents. The rest of my office (while not this neat right now!) are also sorted this way - bins and photo boxes! It makes grabbing what I need quick and easy.

Joy Clair Around the World Cardmaking Day - Challenge #3 - Ink Smooshing

Hi Crafty Friends!

I'm joining the gang over at Joy Clair Stamps to help celebrate World Cardmaking Day!  This is Challenge #3!  Of course I had to play with the "Coffee Lovers" Stamp Set - I think it's one of my faves!

I created a fun card for you to showcase the "Ink Smooshing "technique! It's a real simple technique - exactly how it sounds!  I inked up my Tonic Glass Mat, spritzed with water and transferred the ink to my watercolor paper using a scrap piece of clear acetate.  You could even just lay your watercolor paper over top of the ink too and sop up all that glorious ink!  I went for a "spilled cup of coffee" background look - how do you think I did?  Want to know how I created my "coffee rings"? I grabbed one of my glitter jars, dipped the bottom of it into ink and used it as a stamp! :D  

  

NOW - did you know that if you participate all day long in all of the fabulous hops, you can win PRIZES??

Randomly we will have one winner for each challenge. The prize will be a $25 gift card from Joy Clair. 

If you participate in ALL FIVE CHALLENGES, you will be entered in the random drawing for one collection from the October Release. Each collection will have 6 different stamp sets. Remember that we have two collections: Color by Faith and Everyday Stamps!  WOW!  How cool is that?

I hope you enjoyed this card - I had tons of fun getting inky to make it!  See you again soon and good luck!!!
